Our best tips

Weather

April in Hong Kong averages 23°C, with highs around 26°C and the humidity to match. Rain showers are possible, so bring a light waterproof. Kai Tak Stadium has a retractable roof.

Dress code

There is no dress code in the stands. April in Hong Kong is warm, so pack light and bring something for a shower. Fancy dress is a Sevens tradition rather than an obligation.

Getting around

Getting around Hong Kong

The MTR runs straight to the ground

The Tuen Ma line goes from East Tsim Sha Tsui through Hung Hom to Sung Wong Toi and Kai Tak, the two stations either side of the stadium. Your five-day metro pass covers it.

Ten minutes on foot from the station

Kai Tak Stadium sits at 38 Shing Kai Road, on the site of the former airport. It is a ten-minute walk from either Kai Tak or Sung Wong Toi station; check the organiser’s 2027 guide for opening times.

Red taxis cover the whole Kowloon side

Hong Kong's urban taxis are red and work across Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, so one will take you from Tsim Sha Tsui to the ground door to door. Kai Tak Sports Park has its own taxi drop-off points.

The history of the Hong Kong Sevens

The Hong Kong Sevens began at the Hong Kong Football Club in 1976. It moved to So Kon Po as crowds grew, then to Kai Tak in 2025. The grounds have changed; three days of short matches and fancy dress still bring supporters back.

Following along to the haka from the commentary box was a moment I’ll not forget.
